He fled Bolivia after Banzer’s military coup. He then fought in the Balkan civil wars (on the Croatian side, where he supposedly led an international brigade); he even made a film about his experience (wtf?). He was vice president of a Muslim association in Hungary; but was previously an active member in Opus Dei.

(…)

So basically, as La Razón points out, he was a “fanatic for everything.” A leftist in his youth (his father had been active against the Barrientos military regime), he then became an ardent Catholic in Opus Dei, then fought for Croatia against the Serbs, then abandoned Marxism (though he still admires Che), then converted to Islam, then returned to Bolivia, and may have ties to the right-wing UJC, though he still edited a Hungarian Muslim online news site. I think that about covers it.

In the end, it is possible to suspect how his interests align and trace an ideological line that is still debatable uniting his participation in independence wars in Europe, armed movements in Croatia, nationalist rhetoric in the Balkans, with his relationship with autonomy movements from Santa Cruz, and his violent and sudden end. His reasons for coming to Bolivia, the company with which he was found and his plans are still a mystery.

In the end, we can conclude that this involves a strange and contradictory character and that I hope we get to know better, and above all that the truth of what happened in Bolivia and his final days before his death comes out.

The international war correspondent-turned-platoon-l eader in the defense of a mixed-population village in Croatia…Presently, Eduardo works as a multi-lingual freelance journalist, columnist, TV commentator, film actor and editor of literary monthly KAPU, in Budapest, Hungary. He has a loving dog named Tito, a book-stuffed country-side house with a well-equipped kitchen . . .

The contradictory nature of Rózsa-Flores’ beliefs makes this case even harder to comprehend. It is quite easy to jump to conclusions and make connections based on assumptions. Willy Andres writes [es] that “the supposed terrorism in Bolivia is very complicated and makes one think. I don't think it is neither prudent nor intelligent get ahead of ourselves and draw conclusions, but there are things that raise big questions.”

However, the fact that both members of the governing party, as well as some leaders of the opposition were reportedly on the hit list makes wondering whether they were working for some group or on their own. In addition, the causes that he supported with badges on his blog makes it difficult to generalize about where he stood politically. More news is expected in the near future to help paint a better picture of this mysterious man and his companions.

It’s not surprising to find this kind of hired extremists in a country where the traditional status quo has been put upside down.
Can’t wait for the results of the investigation and the inevitable links between these ‘freedom fighters’ and the opposition.
Some of you will remember that some time ago, a similar outfit (Angeles de la Muerte) were running havoc in the same town, assisted by both the military and the ‘butcher of Lyon’ Klaus Barbie.
And there’s another clue: Croatia

Wow Arpiel, what an insightful connection. So relative. Yeah, you’re all over it. WTF!

With that same thought process, can’t wait for the inevitable links between the exploding cocaine production increase and islamic terrorism with Evo and his MASistas. And some of us will also remember that like TODAY, Evo’s still the head of the coca federation. The same federation that pushes the production of way more leaves that could ever be used for chewing and tea. And some clues for you: Iran, all the new Russian cassinos, late night arrivals of Venezuelan planes, killing foreigners and you can’t really clearly articulate why, WTF!

This all reminds me of that “vampire guy” who set off a bomb at a hotel in La Paz and who recently died in prison. He, too, seemed sort of nuts and unfocused and it was unclear why he set off the bomb (or, possibly, bombs).

Here, though, there were a group of them. The vampire guy was a loner except for his equally nuts girlfriend.

YHWH

Actually, those foreign terrorists were also behind cocaine production (very large quantities), in order to finance a coup d’etat against the government elected by the people.

Those men are dead because they wanted to find the truth, and that would be drugs and goverment are not on diferent sides.

To be convicted of conspiracy and perjury is one of the worst things that can happen to anyone. Anyone who is wrongly accused of this should be paid by the government.
